The Arizona Telecom & Information Council (ATIC) recently held a Broadband Summit. This is the slide deck from the Community Broadband Workshop that I anchored and put together. Session description was "A primary strategy of the Digital Arizona Program (DAP) is to provide funding, technical assistance, and support to the four rural Councils Of Government (COGS) and/or local communities to create Broadband Planning Committees. These committees and other stakeholder groups will develop and implement plans to expedite deployment of affordable high speed broadband services to their rural communities and to enable those communities and citizens to use next generation Broadband to support 21st Century education and workforce development, create jobs and support economic and community development, enhance public safety as well as health care and government services, and connect their citizens to the world. When you attend this workshop you will learn about resources, strategies, and tools to support the development of your community plans and engagement of your community's stakeholders."
A ‘Baseband’ Network is one in which the cable or other network medium can carry only a single signal at any one time.
A ‘Broadband’ network on the other hand can carry multiple signals simultaneously, (using a discrete part of the cables bandwidth for each signal.)
As an example of broadband network, consider the cable television service that you probably have in your home. Although only one cable runs at your TV, it supplies you with dozens of channels of programming at the same time.
This document summarizes a project to deploy a wireless VoIP network across two rural sites in Bangladesh, serving approximately 80 customers. Key aspects of the project included using commodity wireless networking equipment to build a wireless backbone and last-mile connections, evaluating performance of the wireless links and VoIP service, and exploring providing internet access to a school. The network was designed to use 802.11b wireless technology between repeater stations over distances up to 15km to deliver voice and data services in a cost-effective manner to rural areas that previously lacked affordable communication options.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 4G LTE & FIXED WIRELESS BROADBANDnathaniel Korley
4G is a mobile internet connection that operates at speeds between 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps over cellular networks or local Wi-Fi. It connects via a SIM card in a smartphone and allows internet access on the go but has coverage limitations. Fixed broadband is a high-speed home or office internet connection delivered via radio signals or fiber optic cables to a router, providing unlimited data through a consistent Wi-Fi network without usage caps but is stationary. The main differences between the two are that 4G is mobile but has coverage and speed restrictions while fixed broadband is stationary but offers faster, more reliable internet without usage limits.

4G is the fourth generation of wireless mobile telecommunications technology. It provides significantly higher data rates, supports seamless connection of various networks, and offers fully IP-based internet access. Key features of 4G include speeds of up to 1 Gbps, orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) for optimal bandwidth utilization, IPv6 compatibility to support a vast number of devices, and smart antenna technology for seamless handoffs and space division multiple access. 4G aims to deliver an always connected wireless experience with end-to-end quality of service for voice, streaming multimedia, and internet access anytime, anywhere.
Integrated Optical Wireless Network For Next Generation Wireless SystemsCSCJournals
Next generation wireless networks need to support broadband wireless services at significantly reduced cost. The existing wireless systems can hardly provide transmission capacity of the order of few Mbps. However, millimeter waves and optical fiber can provide data capacity of the order of Gbps and Tbps respectively. Hence the requirements of broadband wireless system can be achieved through the integration of optical fiber and millimeter wireless systems. We suggest modified millimeter wireless system, with optical fiber as feeder network. Simulations have been carried out for AWGN and optical fiber channels using MATLAB code, so as to compare their individual performance. When compared it is observed that the performance of multimode optical fiber (MMOF) link even for distance of 80 KM is better than that of the AWGN channel with SNR of 50 dB and above. Hence, an integrated fiber radio network is an excellent cost effective media for higher data rate (>100Mbps).
This document discusses the evolution of wireless technologies from 1G to 5G. It describes some of the key concepts of 5G including its expected speed of 1 Gbps, use of UWB networks, smart antennas, and software defined radio. 5G is proposed to offer a unified global standard for wireless communication with virtually no limitations and support for technologies like wearable devices, virtual private networks, and voice over IP.

25. Colorado’s 7 A’s for Community Broadband
Northwest Colorado Local Technology Planning Team (LTPT) utilizes a formula
known as the “7 A’s” attributing it to success in improving broadband
infrastructure regionally:
1. Aggregate Experience: Establishment of Northwest Colorado LTPT;
2. Assess Local Broadband Environment: identification of single, low bandwidth middle
mile services into the Northwest Colorado as hindrance to all telecoms in the region
3. Assess Demand: multiple speed tests and surveys show much of the region to have no
broadband as defined by FCC ( 4 Mbps down 1 Mbps up)
4. Aggregate Demand: The LTPT has conducted a number of surveys with local service
providers and determined that total demand by local service providers and community
anchor institutions is at least 3 gigabits per second (Gbps).
5. Aggregate Resources: a) local funding as organized via Northwest Colorado Council of
Governments and Steamboat Springs Chamber of Commerce b) low-cost local tower sites
c) use disruptive technologies including microwave d) creation of carrier neutral locations
(CNL) in Steamboat Springs and Craig e) explore availability of dark fiber: Rifle to
Steamboat Springs F) fiber conduit in Steamboat Springs
6. Aggregate Solutions: a) Phase I: microwave path from fiber point of presence in Fraser
to Steamboat Springs, b) Phase II: fiber route from fiber point of presence in Rifle to Craig
7. Aggregate Sustainability: a) Local service providers build middle mile that is redundant,
abundant and affordable b) middle mile project is locally funded and operated c) elected
officials hope to see this model replicated throughout the Northwest Colorado

Lean Government By Harnessing Existing Assets
Leverage Public Rights-of-way and Properties
• Two Highways for (nearly) the cost of one
• Deploy along Highways, Canals, Power-lines, Railroads…
• Utilize Government Buildings and Vertical Assets
Recommend Permitting and Easement Best Practices
Possible State Broadband & ROW Clearinghouse Role
Leverage Existing $6.3 Million Federal Grant into
Sustainably Funded Mechanism(s) for Acceleration of
Digital Capacity Build-out
Provide Long-range State-wide Planning and Leadership
as well as Continuing Community Support
Arizona Telecommunications and Information Council
47. ASET DAP Highway Conduit Initiative
Primary Approach: Deploy conduit along state highways and rural
frontage roads to be leased to providers at cost to facilitate availability
of fiber Internet middle-mile capacity to support providers’ investments
in more and faster services for rural Arizona.
Trenching + Conduits ≈ Very low cost when road bed under
construction or repair.
Passed Arizona Digital Highways Law SB1402 to support this.
Potential Funding Sources:
•No funding in the Digital Highways Law itself
•Some seed funding from existing grants
•Leased conduit can be recycled to pay for additional capacity
•Provider investment under discussion
•State-wide eRate facilitation could provide funding from gain sharing
•Possible shared funding with Public Safety Broadband (FirstNet)

57. Possible Digital Arizona Program Funding Model

Arizona Telecommunications and Information Council
58. Possible Digital Arizona Program Funding
An implementation and funding model is being developed in which the State of
Arizona could implement the Digital Arizona Highways Act of 2012 (SB 1402).
This model incorporates funds from eRate programs, State educational
investments, broadband provider investment, public safety broadband, and
other possible sources of funds.
The model can provide recurring revenue to rural Arizona broadband providers
who in-turn could utilize a portion of the funds for procuring fiber conduits
and/or towers along Arizona roadways in close proximity to key rural broadband
users. In return, the providers obtain long-term leases of the conduit and towers
of interest to each of them which they are free to utilize the leases in any manner
that is commercially viable with some selling broadband services directly to
users while others concentrate on wholesale services to the retail providers.
Additionally, within the above public-private partnership constructs, ASET is
exploring financing means including securitizing the leases, tax-advantaged
bonding, and closer planning and funding efforts with user educational, medical-
services and economic-development stakeholders. The goal is to allow market
forces to drive the expansion of retail and wholesale digital capacity throughout
rural Arizona over time.

59. Microsoft/Arnold Group Economic Impact Model
Arizona Telecommunications and Information Institute (ATI Institute)
partnered with Microsoft Corporation and their Shape the Future team on a
Digital Inclusion Economic Impact Model for Arizona which was executed by
Microsoft’s partner The Arnold Group at no cost to ATI Institute or the State.
The model is designed to measure the economic impact of Digital Inclusion
initiatives and the cost of Digital Exclusion. It has been performed across
the U.S. in five states and seven cities to date.
The model's target segment consists of disadvantaged school-age children
and their families as this group has the greatest long-term effect for the
realization of the benefits. Arizona modeling results indicate that students
with a home PC and broadband access increase their chance of graduating
from High School by 6-8 percentage points and experience an average
increase of $1.2M in additional economic and social impact over their
lifetime. The affected individuals will also have more employment
opportunities benefiting from significant lifetime creation of jobs. By
targeting students in poverty, over $32.4 billion in total lifetime economic
and social impact can potentially be realized.
Arizona Telecommunications and Information Council
62. Arizona Economic Impact Model Key Parameters
ASET and Data Site Consortium are currently investigating extension of
the Microsoft/Arnold Group model to project the more general economic
development impact of expanding Digital Inclusion on Arizona
communities including employment levels and job quality, business
attractiveness, and economic growth rates.
